PetalCard.com Invite

petalcard.com/invite is used to respond to a pre-approved credit card offer from Petal. If you received an offer in the mail, this is where you go to enter your unique 10-digit invitation code to proceed with the application.

Note: Petal cards were discontinued for new applications in August 2025 and replaced by Tilt credit cards. Existing Petal cardholders are not affected.

How it works

  • Enter your code: The invite link takes you to a page where you must enter the unique invitation code printed on your mailer and your last name.

  • Activates pre-approval: Entering the code activates the terms of your pre-approved offer, which means Petal has already determined you meet certain criteria.

  • Submit formal application: While pre-approval significantly increases your chances, it's not a guarantee. The next step is to complete and submit a formal application for a final decision.

  • No impact on credit score (at first): The initial pre-approval and entry of your code do not impact your credit score because they are based on a soft inquiry. A hard inquiry is only performed if you formally proceed with the full application.

  • What if you don't have an invite code?

    If you did not receive a pre-approved offer in the mail, you can still apply for a Petal card directly through their website at petalcard.com.

    Petal offers several credit cards, including the Petal 1 and Petal 2, which are designed for people with little to no credit history. When you apply through their main site, you may still be offered pre-approval, and Petal is known for using "cash flow underwriting," which evaluates your banking history in addition to your credit score to help determine eligibility.

    FICO® Credit Scores

    A FICO® Score is a proprietary credit score created by the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO). About 90% of top U.S. lenders use it to make lending decisions.

    FICO® Score Ranges:

    • Exceptional: 800–850
    • Very Good: 740–799
    • Good: 670–739
    • Fair: 580–669
    • Poor: 300–579

    FICO categorizes scores as Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Exceptional.

    What is a Credit Score?

    A credit score is a three-digit number (300–850) predicting your creditworthiness. Lenders use it to evaluate risk and determine rates and terms for credit.

    Why it matters: A higher score can help you qualify for loans and lower interest rates. A lower score can lead to higher borrowing costs or application denials.

    FICO® Credit Score Facts

    Key Characteristics:
    • Three-Digit Number: Summarizes your credit risk.
    • Range: 300–850; higher scores = lower risk.
    • Data Source: Uses your credit reports from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
    • Industry Standard: Lenders rely on FICO for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.

    Note: Credit scores reflect your creditworthiness but do not guarantee approval for any credit product.
